Waterblasting WATERBLASTING: EMMA TWADDELL is just getting around to putting in her own insurance claims from the February 2011 earthquake – she has been too busy immersed in the tribulations of her community to file them. Her efforts as head of the St Albans Residents Association recently earned her a Kiwibank Local Hero award. She wanted to avoid being singled out, as Job. Quick service by skilled tradesman.

Quality she is part of a team, but being nominated for the honour by people she respects in the community was gratifying. She has had to notch down the voluntary role – which exploded after the quakes to about 40 hours a week, but there is no sign of her enthusiasm waning after three years. ‘‘I shed a tear,’’ she said, when she heard of the award. It made her realise how much more she still wanted to do. A former teacher and environmental edu- cator, the fulltime mother of two moved to St Albans 15 years ago from Timaru and is passionate about the area. Work for the construction business she runs with her husband fell away during the quakes, and she devoted her time to helping her neighbours. The association lost its home when the damaged St Albans Community Centre was demolished, and with no formal base from which to provide services, it has no funding and its staff have gone. Mrs Twaddell said community groups needed money and assistance to operate. They cannot just be expected to rely on goodwill. She is part of the Cera community forum, is the driving force behind a community newspaper, and is the first port of call for many residents who have issues. And there is a long to-do list for the associ- ation. She said the suburb was hit in the quakes, but being sandwiched between the east and the central city, might have fallen off the radar. There are also issues of development that need the group’s attention, with much of the intensification that has taken place in the past not being beneficial to the suburb. There is also the resurrection of the north- ern motorway extension, which has hovered over the area for decades. While it will be good for Belfast, it will not be so for St Albans, she said. The group also wants the boundaries of the suburb defined. The history of the area and the sense of belonging is important, she says. Leadership after the quakes had been lacking, and she was adamant the recovery needed to come from the grassroots. As part of this, she wants to draw the numerous residents associations in Christchurch together to give them a stronger voice. That is one thing St Albans is not lacking. microwaves, 4227788AA
